in comparison, are free. So that whether
pursued or not. it is preferable to possess
that knowledge of and training in par
ticular trade which can furnish support in
case of need. On the Pacific coast
schools are already established for this
purpose, to which the daughters Of the
rich as well as OF the poor man must go.
All women cannot be ''ladies." Luxury
depends upon wealth. Wealth is uncer-

counting room do not furnish all the varie-
ties of employment. Away from the
town and the city there are chances which
are little dreamed of and vocations yet
untried by women. There are employ
ments in the agricultural field which are
healthy and remunerative. Besides dairy
ing in its various departments, there are
poultry raising berry raising, and preserv-
ing, etc., which women can succeed in. far
better than men. In the professional world
there are opportunities for gaining more
than a simple living. Women have sue

why they should not as doctors and law
yers.
There are chances enough left to each
and every woman to earn sufficient money
to procure all her actual necessaries and
many OF the comforts of life. The impor
lance of the matter lies in woman's
inability to perform what there is for her
to do. 1t is getting to be serious as well

ALBANY, N. Y, March 4.-Cpon receiv-
ing information this afternoon of the dis.
missal of the pending indictment against
General Alexander Shaler in New York,
G overnor Hill Immediately made an order
OF removal of General Shaler from the
office of president of the Health Depart.
ment of New York City At the same
time Governor Hill dictated an opinion in
the Shaler matter, giving the reasons for
his action. He says the decision of these
charges has been delayed because of the
tendency of criminal prosecution
against General Shaler, based upon the
same facts upon which his removal was
sought. The Governor further says:
''The Office from which Shaler was sought
to be removed is that of president of the
Health Department of New York City.
1t is not claimed that he has neglc ctea
any official duty pertaining to this office,
but the claim is that, as a mem Der of the
Armory Board, he accepted a bride to in-
fuence the discharge of his duty and for
this offensc he was indicted. 1t is clear
that the charges should be delayed
until the termination of the
criminal case, so that his case should
not be prejudiced by the removal. The
situation has now changed. The district
attorney, in the exercise of the discretion
invested in him by law, has, with the APP
proval of the court. entered nolle
prosequi in the criminal case, and the
prosecution is therefore terminated
Under such circumstances hasten to de-
eide the case"

Trotter Con frmed.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate in
executive session early yesterday morn.
ing, confirmed the nomination of James
M. Trotter, to be recorder of deeds for
the District of Columbia in place of
James c. Matthews, who nomination
was rejected. The news of the success
of Trotter created some surprise, as his
case had been reported upon adversely,
and his re lection was considered a fore
gone conclusion.
The mo st reliable information as to the
vote by which Trotter was confirmed
places the negative at eleven and the af-
firmative at thirty. There Were but three
Repu blcans voting against confirmation.
These are understood to have been Messrs.
Ingalls,, Sabin and Riddleberger Repuh-
lican Senators say that the change OF
sentiment in their party was the result OF
a fear that a rejection would be misin-
terpreted, since one colored man had ale
ready been rejected for the office; that
Matthew'S rejection was based upon the
character Of the man in the first instance,
and the fact that he was a non resident in
the second instance; that while the
character of Trotter was found to be ac-
ceptable, he would have been rejected on
account of non-residence had the Senators
been certain that the ground of rejection
would not have been misinterpreted.
They declare that the color of Matthews,
and also that of Trotter, had no bearing
whatever on the case, and that if Trotter
mad been white man he would not in al
probability have received so large Ga
affirmative vote.
